CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. - TEACHERS OF IRISH—COST OF LIVING BONUS.

TOMAS O CONAILL

To ask the Minister for Agriculture whether any distinction is made between the amount of Cost of Living Bonus paid to whole-time teachers of Irish under the schemes formulated by County and other Technical Committees under the Department and the amount of bonus paid to whole-time teachers of other subjects; whether it is proposed to pay this Cost of Living Bonus to the whole-time teachers of Irish to be appointed by or under these Committees during the coming school session; also, whether the temporary additional remuneration hitherto paid to part-time teachers under such Committees will be paid to part-time teachers of Irish now being appointed to carry on the work of instruction in Irish in connection with the classes during the coming session.

Mr. KEVIN O'HIGGINS

No distinction is made between the amount of Cost of Living Bonus paid to whole-time teachers of Irish under local schemes of Technical Instruction and the amount of bonus paid to whole-time teachers of other subjects. As, however, the estimates for the current financial year were prepared before the appointments of a large number of whole and part-time teachers of Irish were proposed, no provision was made for bonus or temporary additional remuneration of such teachers, and no increase can now be made in the estimates submitted.
